Taylor, who will turn 17 in October, will possibly be next to the top Jamaican quarter milers in the contest. “His participation was a last-minute surprise that will provide make the track much more exciting,” said Glen Mills, who is part of the committee organizing the event.

Christopher is that good. So much, that last year he won the IAAF’s ( International Association of Athletics Federations) World U18 Championship, clocking 45.27 seconds, a record that makes him the fastest young man in his category ever.
